Summary:

River Otter



The Space:

Everything you need for a coastal riverfront getaway in a charming little cabin. Find yourself taking in wonderful views of the river and sunrises at this fantastic updated light, bright concept Nehalem home with large picture windows. The quaint towns of Nehalem, Manzanita, and Wheeler are only a short drive away with lots of shops, cafes, and restaurants to explore.



The River Otter is the perfect place to watch tidal changes, seals, otters, and birds including Purple Martins that travel from South America each summer to nest. There's plenty of outdoor seating to enjoy the views from the dock, deck, or backyard, or relax indoors on cold days in the comfy furniture in front of the LED fireplace.



Launch your kayak or paddle board from the private dock and explore the scenic Nehalem River. You can also bring your boat to go crabbing or fish for legendary Salmon and Steelhead that run up the river. Be sure to bring your hiking and beach gear as the dramatic Oregon Coast is just a short drive away.



Inside, this gem boasts all the comforts of home including a well-stocked kitchen with newer appliances an open living area with high-speed Wi-Fi, and a smart 4K flat-screen TV for watching your favorite movies or just snuggling up with a good book.

Clean small rental with comfortable beds and furniture. Good location for great beaches and towns. Sweet quiet river in front but unfortunately the road behind the house and bridge next to it are quite loud. Also the lockbox needs work as it takes multiple attempts to make it work.

It’s very pretty inside, like a designer put it together. But very impracticality done. For example, there is no surface anywhere in the bathroom to put a toiletry bag. None. Cute shelves are maybe 4 inches deep laden with decorative items. There’s cubbies for fresh towels but no place to hang used ones to dry. And that’s for 4 people. The bedrooms have pretty comfortable beds in very, very small rooms but no place to put a suitcase. Instead there are confusing shelves and dressers in bedrooms closets you can maybe unpack your bag into but no place to put the bag after that except the kitchen, dining area or living room. Across from the entrance to the bedroom closest to the bathroom is a nice picture window with no blinds! The view isn’t bad but not when you’re getting ready for bed, hanging out in your Jammie’s or trying to sleep in just a bit. The AC doesn’t work and there are no instructions on how to operate the mini split. It’s dog friendly but no place to walk a dog. When it rains, which it does most of the time on the coast, it’s muddy. Don’t bring your dog out to the main road. It’s dangerous! There’s no fence to the river. If you have a child or dog, you’ll be worrying constantly. My suggestions are to fence the river, put functional shelves in the bathroom, change the sink to a vanity with countertop extended on the right, put up towel rods or hooks, get blinds for the big window, take out furniture in closets and install a sturdy shelf bench height for suitcases.

We didn’t want to leave!

Nicely remodeled small house. Lots of added little touches like solar lights around the property. The decor is perfect and the kitchen is stocked with everything we needed. We tied our boat up to the nice dock and fished every day then got to relax in this beautiful house and watch the river. There are river otters who play in the evening around the dock. I would buy this house if they were selling!

Busy street

We rented this property because we wanted to fish the river and thought that it was far enough out that it would be peaceful. However, it was hot and there is no airflow in the house. The ceiling fan doesn’t move air and there are few screens on the windows so to open them would let the bugs in. The house is closer to the road than it appeared and for a small town there is a lot of traffic at all hours so having bedroom windows open isn’t realistic as they face the busy street. Our dogs were too hot and not used to all the traffic. We live on acreage so they aren’t used to hearing all the cars. The first night we were all miserable and didn’t get any sleep. The next morning we packed up and went home. We had a fishing trip planned for mid week so we went back down for the night as the trip was early the next morning. We left the dogs at home and brought several fans to make it a little more comfortable. We originally planned to stay 5 nights and ended up staying two. It was a terrible experience.
